Boone v. Nassau County Legislature (Joanna Seybert, E.D.N.Y. 2:11-cv-2712)
On the day before a period of collecting ballot-petition signatures for a county-legislature election, voters filed a federal complaint challenging new district lines. The district judge held preliminary-injunction hearings during the following week, but the state high court’s nullification of the district lines mooted the federal case.
